"Rahul is no more working on the project , time to shift on another." One of my colleague read this on his LinekedIn network updates. The statement was followed by a motif just to remove my frustration on client. But this makes him to look over my profile more closely. Some times same thing happens when you publish something like this "I'm committed or is no longer in a relationship." You will be greeted with a flood of messages on your "wall or scrap book" that more or less enquires about your either current GF or broken relationship". Though I'm not a social network challenged person but this too much social media espionage scared me a lot.
Why this sudden need to constantly update the world about one's life man? That's mainly because an entire generation of people are addicted to social networking & that's a virtual kind one. Frankly speaking it's not just you & me, some people had reported on twitter that even their mom's adding them on Facebook, orkut & many more. One of my old colleague Disha, 22, a blogger was a self-confessed Facebook addict (no idea about her current addiction ;^]). Then who isn't? Even I'm addicted to Gtalk, Orkut & yahoo messenger. Her office hours use to start by signing into her Facebook account & even she use to manage to check her friends update, chat with them in the middle of her all activities.
Apart from this, all social networking sites allows us to upload pictures & videos, which makes your friends privy to your lives. I admit that some time I had taken pictures of mine just so I can upload them on my profile for everyone to gawk at it. It some times gives you an opportunity to show others what a wonderful life you are having. But there is a catch!!
Now day's recruiters are checking their candidates profile for everything. Don't be surprised if companies like Wipro, Reliance & many more are running background checks via our own social networking profile. So before you list your preferences for anything over here, think twice as your boss or colleague may get knowledge about it before you want them to know.
Social networking sites are becoming favourite time pass for teenager's. For working categories, it's place where they can kill their time or remove their frustration by playing different application like Slapster, Scrabulous, Crapster or watching videos. Most popular versions of chess , Scrabbles & Sodoku are available on various networking sites, play them with your colleague siting next to you or live on your virtual world.
Social networking sites are slowly turning into a virtual version of speed dating, where you know instantly what are their interest are - will you get anything better & faster than this? So if you are still single & ready to mingle, this is a most correct place for you to get your partner. What more could a dude want?
